“Murray says he has two untouchables–Teemu Selanne and Saku Koivu– but anyone else is in play. Says he’s not rebuilding and seeking draft picks. if he trades a core player, it would be for another core-type player.”

The Fins have no trade clauses. That’s why they’re untouchable.

Do you want Bobby Ryan? Ryan Getzlaf…lol…Corey P…I can’t even write it. Can you imagine? I can’t. But, if you could and do it with a straight face, what would it take to land one of these Ducks?

The only one i would even remotely consider would be bobby ryan. Hes already friends with a lot of the guys on our team. Hes also not a total asslicking douchenozzle tool like perry and Ryan “huge dome” Getzlaf

Ryan for jj and amart plus whatever filler u need to square it up for both sides. The salary swap I think is pretty similar which is important for the ducks. We’re really perfect trade partners since our wingers suck and their d is dreadful.

Hey I am as big a Kings fan as the next guy, but lets not sound totally retarded here. Montreal have 24 cups, Toronto has 11 Kings have, wait for it…..0. If we have a chance to land any of the big three from the ducks we would be completely stupid not to try and trade for them. Perry and Getzlaf are better than any one of our Kings (including Kopitar)

I do not believe that either players are better than Kopitar. Perry had one great season that was better than a season Kopitar has had. Overall and specifically right now? Kopitar trumps both of those idiots.

I’d take Bobby Ryan for Jack Johnson+. Not that it would every happen, but if they were dumb enough to offer, I would take it. They have no reason to trade their franchise talent with us next door, they could get better packages around the league, and I question the veracity of Murray’s statement. Sounds more like he is trying to motivate his players through the media. If ownership wants to cut cost, they will ship out Visnovsky. Not Getzlaf, Perry, or Ryan.

i’m with Telos on this. I think it was Murray just blowing off steam and at the same time trying to light a fire under their ass. GM’s talking to the press about tradebait, usually is the first step before making a move.

sorry but no Ducks at all…..just could not stand it…no trade….no nothing with them….please it is bad enough that I work surrounded by idiot Duck fans…they can’t migrate to my team….

It was bad enough last year having Jason Blake play in my company’s annual golf tournament and having to see his albino disgusting face all day and during the dinner…..I still have nightmares….so funny when he was out injured for such a long time…..

Problem with the Ducks is that instead of rebuilding for a couple of years, they’ve tried to extend the status quo. We went through a simialar process holding onto Gretzky longer than we should of. Mismanagement kept us there years afterwards, but that’s besides the point.

If the Ducks made some hard choices to let go of some veteran players go a few years ago, they’d be a power house again instead of barely staying a float with no farm system, and aged veterans still holding the team hostage.

The Kings are struggling also, but have peices in place to turn it around, and a deep pipeline. The Kings still have to do the work, but the Ducks could still do the work, and still be handcuffed when it’s all said and done.

If there was some way of getting Corey Perry, I’d love to see it. The guy nearly single-handedly carried the Ducks into the playoffs last year. He’s a 50 goal scorer and if you’re saying you wouldn’t take him on your team, you’re nuts.

Imagine a line of Perry, Kopitar and Brown. That’s a nasty-looking line, in my opinion. I think that line would cause loads of troubles for the opposition and free up Richards (Gagne and Williams as his wingers?) from the heaviest checking lines.

But, to be honest, I can’t see Ryan or Perry moving (especially to a division rival). I’d even be surprised to see Getzlaf move, but as we saw with Philly, any and all trades are possible.

I would love a player like Corey Perry. I just can’t ever bring myself to want that particular dipshit on my team. Is it irrational? Of course it is. My love for the Kings is also totally irrational but I stand by both of them.
